morado Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 What is the expected shutter cycle life of the diferent Canon cameras?I have a Digital Rebel and had to change the shutter already twice. Ialso have a Powershot G6 and I have taken more picture with it thanwith the Digital Rebel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phule Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The G6 shutter and the Digital Rebel shutter are two completely different shutter types. There's no reason to compare the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave92029 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 When I heard that Canon was releasing 70 product changes I figured that the G7 was sure to be one of the 70 new items. Very surprised that they haven't upgraded the G6 to DigicII, etc. like they did on the S80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morado Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 yes, I know that they are quite different, but he question remains: what is the expected shutter life. I may think in upgrade my DSRL camera to a new one and I would like to know the options. My guess is that the Rebel XT will be similar and have a few life cycles compared to de 20d and better, so I would had the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phule Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 http://bobatkins.photo.net/photography/digital/eos_digital_rebel_xt_vs_20d.html If you know the shutter design of the G6 is completely different, why did you mention it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormegil Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well the new 30D is rated to 100,000. Does the G7 even have a mechanical shutter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The 20D and 30D are arted for 100,000 cycles. I suspect they use exactly the same shutter since they also use exactly the same sensor. The Rebel XT might be good for about 1/2 that, with people quoting failures between 30,000 and 50,000 cycles. Most digicams don't have mechanical shutters and the ones that do are TOTALLY different in design and construction from (D)SLR shutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynelittle Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have a 20d, if the shutter fails hopefully way after 100,000, can it be repaired and what is the cost. Do canon do the work and guarantee another 100,000? regards wayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandit Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Victor, I dont have the answer to your question, but after reading posts and posts of people moaning about the disappointment that is the 30D, I found it great to hear that there are people out there shooting with their cameras enough to change the shutter twice!

halim_semihardjo1 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 i also wonders about shutter life of a camera..and after some readings,i come to the conclusion..it's actually relative..i use 300D,at now it's almost reach 50.000,the shutter sounds unlike it used to be..but still function pretty well IMHO..while other user might find it's shutter broke down at just around 20.000..
